Google satellite view shows a neat back garden with a trampoline, which indicates a much younger family living there.

Young people die too. Maybe the parent(s) died (cancer? road accident?) and the family were too busy looking after the bereaved kids to give much thought to what was happening to the property while it was vacant.

But I'm just guessing. I just think it's very unlikely that the sort of family who could afford £650k to buy the place would have let it get like that while it was being lived in, so I'm supposing that it must have been empty when the fly-tipping and roof destruction occurred. I also think the inside has almost certainly been completely trashed, or there would be pics of it. That could eat up a lot more money than removing the stuff outside.

Alternatively it could have been bought by a novice BTL investor who has seen what state the tenants have let it get into and decided to cut their losses. Who knows?

That is just awful. What a terrible waste.

What madness can have gone on to bring about such wantion destruction? The poor neighbours too.

This is the one thing we can be sure of. It was a nice house, and it is very sad.

Sorry to say it but I think PN is nearer the truth.
It is "a bank" that has been robbed so far (mortgagees in possession). The local tax payers may be next in line depending on the reaction of the local authority.
There might be an element of you have had my property off me so I will s h a f t you about the situation.
This is a classic way of getting paid for clearing waste (illegally), devaluing a plot of land and scaring off any other would be purchasers, and then making a cowed local authority pass planning permission for over development; it might take 10 years but it will happen.

I expect the nice law abiding people of Bournemouth, cannot believe such gangsterism could happen there, those of us living in "the edgelands" know it could break out anywhere.
Anyone want to make an offer for this:

No idea why you'd apologise for having realised I am always right

A few bunches of lilac flowers in the front and rear gardens, nice touch...

The dining/bed room separated with a curtain is 'curious'

Having carpets in the kitchen and bathroom is just rank and who would want to live on that road?

I didn't notice anything else unusual though :rotfl:

Great decor. Love it.

Still raining. I might as well be in London.

Doubtful .... looks like a load of old building scrap. If worst came to worst you could dig a big hole and bury it .... then build an embankment as a rockery round the edge

I was watching an American programme whose property specialism was buying the houses of hoarders in foreclosure. He reckoned $75k to clear the site and then about $20k to make good damage. Enabled him to make about $100k profit per house. I'd be worried about the roof on that house as well though, looks like they may have been fly tipping by helicopter.
